Deontae Lawson expects to be a starter, but who will play with him? As Touchdown Alabama Magazine continues its 50-day countdown to Crimson Tide football, fans want to see a native Texan rise. Kendrick Blackshire, a senior, came into Alabama’s 2021 signing class as a punishing linebacker. He arrived as a four-star from Duncanville (Texas), but much of his success has come on special teams.

Blackshire has Trezmen Marshall, Justin Jefferson, Jihaad Campbell, and Shawn Murphy competing with him.
